[PATCH 1/4] docs/merge-strategies: remove hyphen from mis-merges
The term mismerges without hyphen is used a few other places in the documentation. Let's update this to be consistent. Signed-off-by: Albert L.

[PATCH 4/4] docs/git-blame: explain more clearly the example pickaxe use
We state that the following paragraph mentions the pickaxe interface, but the term pickaxe is not then used.

[PATCH 3/4] docs/git-clone: clarify use of --no-hardlinks option
Current text claims optimization, implying the use of hardlinks, when this option ratchets down the level of efficiency. This change explains the difference made by using this option, namely copying instead of hardlinking, and why it may be useful. Signed-off-by: Albert L.
